How to Take a “Swan” Dive

portman_kunisIf you are Mila Kunis, play Natalie Portman’s nemesis. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Kunis is in talks to co-star with Portman in Darren Aronofsky’s supernatural drama Black Swan, a movie about a talented ballerina (Portman) who is tormented by a rival named Lilly (Kunis), who might or might not be a figment of the dancer’s imagination. All I know is getting these two actresses together onscreen could create some serious steam.

Thank goodness Kunis has moved on from her annoying character in That ’70s Show and proved she had some real comic timing — and adorable behavior — in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Now, of course, she’ll have to make sense of Aronofsky’s weird sensibilities.
